This week, my WoW pick is…..

Goodreads
Adelina Amouteru’s heart has suffered at the hands of both family and friends, turning her down the bitter path of revenge. Now known and feared as the White Wolf, she and her sister flee Kenettra to find other Young Elites in the hopes of building her own army of allies. Her goal: to strike down the Inquisition Axis, the white-cloaked soldiers that murdered her love, the Crown Prince Enzo Valenciano.
But Adelina is no heroine. Her powers, fed only by fear and hate, have started to grow beyond her control. She does not trust her newfound Elite friends. Teren Santoro, leader of the Inquisition, wants her dead. And her former friends, Raffaele and the Dagger Society, want to stop her thirst for vengeance. Adelina struggles to cling to the good within her. But how can someone be good, when her very existence depends on darkness?
I really loved how the characters in this series are all sort of broken and morally ambiguous. It’s a nice foil to the contrast barrage of perfect heroes we sometimes get in fiction. Can’t wait!
This sounds like a fantastic series, but give what I’ve heard about cliffhangers… I shall wait till it is complete to start it!
Ha! I know a lot of people who do that!
I feel so bad that I haven’t read yet anything from Marie Lu. I have had her previous series on my TBR list for such a long time. And she already is releasing the second book of her new series! I must hurry up!
Happy readings! 😉
The Legend series is very different from this one, but just as good!
Back when the first book came out I was obsessed with getting it but then I never really did get it. Le sigh. Sometime hopefully! 🙂
I have the first two books of her Legend series but still haven’t read anything by Lu yet. I’m glad her second series sounds just as good as the first. I love the covers!

The Legend series is so, so good. You should definitely give it a try!
Yes yes yes! I need a crazy refresher on The Young Elites though.
I haven’t read book 1 in this series, but I really enjoyed Marie’s Legend series. I might try and get copies of this series soon 🙂
